What is a “High-Yield” or “Flash” stamp?
A flash stamp is similar to a pre-inked stamp with one major difference. When you turn over the flash stamp, you will notice that the stamp appears to have a thin film of plastic on the bottom where the ink seeps through to make the impression. It will travel about the same distance as the pre-inked stamp however it can be re-inked because it is not made with heat and pressure. These stamps use an internal ink pad that sits just behind the membrane and holds the ink. Flash stamps can be made in larger sizes than self inking stamps since they do not require the space to “flip” the die plate, but they are generally more expensive.
